Protect your investment property and landlord’s contents from insured events such as theft, fire, storm and malicious damage.
A residential investment property needs to be appropriately protected. Insurance can give you the peace of mind and confidence that your property will be looked after should something go wrong. Over Fifty’s Landlord Insurance covers the property and/or the contents you provide for your tenant’s use.
To help you decide the cover you need, here’s a brief outline of the difference between Buildings and Contents cover.
Landlord Buildings
- Designed to cover the physical structures that make up your property, like the house itself, garage, sheds, permanently installed swimming pools and decks. Generally for customers who own a freehold home – like a house, townhouse, terrace or semi-detached dwelling.
Landlord Contents
- Designed to cover items at your property – from furniture, removable domestic appliances and white goods which belong to you as the landlord and that you have provided for the use of your tenant. It also covers your carpets and window furnishings.
We do not provide advice based on any consideration of your objectives, financial situation or needs. Terms, conditions, limits and exclusions apply. Before making a decision please refer to the relevant Landlord Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) any applicable supplementary PDS and Landlord Buildings or Landlord Contents key fact sheets also available for reference.
If you purchased landlord insurance before 16 December 2019, please refer to the relevant Over Fifty's Landlord Insurance Product Disclosure Statement, any applicable supplementary PDS, and Building or Content Key Fact Sheet/s.
Landlord Insurance Calculators
It’s up to you to decide the sums insured, and the type and level of cover that you want to take out. People generally want enough insurance to cover the property’s estimated replacement value. If you don’t have enough cover, you could end up having to cover some of the costs yourself. Remember, we will only pay up to the amount of your loss or the sum insured, whichever is the lesser - so you should also be careful not to over insure. That's why we've provided these calculators. They work as guides to help you estimate the replacement value of your landlord building and contents.

What does Landlord Insurance cover?
Buildings > What’s covered?
Buildings insurance is designed to protect the physical structures and fixtures that make up your buildings: from the house itself, to the garage, fences and paved driveways – even built-in appliances like showers and baths, hot water systems, air-conditioners and more.
Contents > What’s covered?
Contents insurance protects the belongings you have at the insured address that you have provided for the use of your tenant: from your furniture, carpet and appliances and even your BBQ. So, if any of the insured events happen during the period of insurance, we’ll generally pay to repair or replace your contents – up to the policy limits.
